JoAnne Robb is a psychotherapist from Oakland, California, who councils adults and parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes. She is a mother of three. Her oldest and youngest have diabetes and her middle child does not, although as you'll learn through our conversation, he is still very much impacted by the disease. In this episode, JoAnne shares first-hand knowledge and personal stories. We learn why managing Type 1 Diabetes is as much an art as a science; why children and teenagers have their own dynamics, how technology can be a double-edged sword when it comes to managing the disorder, and how support is available if you know where to look. JoAnne explains why Type 1 is a family disease and the importance of finding support and community. She speaks of the advantages and disadvantages of different insulin delivery systems, the role food plays, the intense financial implications of managing Diabetes, and much more.
